I did my 1st Triathlon (Fowey) way back in 1985; so I guess I've been around for a while.
I never considered myself a serious competitor but enjoyed the challenge of a triathlon every now and then, which also gave me motivation to try and keep reasonably fit.
My sporting background is Surf Life-Saving where I competed as a Pool Swimmer, Surf Swimmer, Surf-Ski Paddler, Kayaker, Beach Runner and in more recent years Surf-Boat Rower.
A few years ago I started running more seriously and completed the London Marathon in 2008. Turning 40 seemed to give me a new lease of life and I took up Time-Trial Cycling and Triathlon again!
My P.B's are improving and my results are also getting better but it never seems to get get any EASIER!!!
